Just as you would never find chow mein in China, I don’t think you’d find this salad anywhere in Asia, but the concept is a popular one. In my version, chicken breasts are roasted, not deep-fried.

Cooks' Note

To toast almonds, spread them in an even layer on a cookie sheet and place in the oven as it preheats. Watch them carefully. The almonds will toast in 3 to 5 minutes.
